For further information address JAMES L. SIMS. Lock Box No. 116, Orangeburg, S. C. The name of Gen. R. R. Ilemphill has been brought forward for the posi tion of Secretary of State. The Gener al is in every way fully qualified 'for the position, and we do not think a better selection could be made. The Port Royal Post calls upon Con gress to give Port Royal a public build ing, and wants to run Col. William Elliott for Congress against Smalls. That portion of Orangeburg County that is in the Seventh District would give Col. Elliott a warm support should he enter the race._ The verdict in the Steedly-Connel ly case is a travesty on justice. With such verdicts is it any wonder that we occasionally have a lynching. Miss Connelly should (have been convicted, and the paliating circumstances in her case laid before the Governor who no doubt would have pardoned her. This would have preserved the form of law, at least. _ The hideous portraits that blotch the pages of American newspapers all over the land are a disgrace to the profes sion. If a newspaper paragraph should represent a handsome young lady as being ugly it ought to be adjudged as libellous. Not less so of these abomi nable prints. And this is the view . taken by a young lady of St. Paul who sued one of the papers for subjoining her name to one of the beastly cuts, claiming it was a libel. Paul H. Hayne had no petty jealousies. He sang pceans to three or four of the leading Northern poets, and he delighted in protecting the memories of the Southern men of genius. His labors in behalf of the gifted Harry Timrod, of Hugh S. Legare and Gilmore Simms will not soon be forgotten. One of his last acts was to pay a charming tribute to Judge Gayarre, one of the South's greatest authors. _ % The North is a great section. It furnishes all sorts of characters and experiences. Pretty Mrs. Wixom offended some of the several vixens living at Kawkawlin?Michigan, where upon they visited her house, broke out the window glass, pelted her with rot ten eggs and tore her dress about off of her. Six were arrested and fined S4.70 each. They ought to have been sub jected to the same treatment they gave their helpless neighbor. Any thoughtful man will notice the wonderful love of God to us, in that to encourage us to keep His laws, He has promised present as well as future hap piness. The "peace that passeth un derstanding" being the serenest of earth's attainments, and that happiness of the world to come is the fulfillment all our wishes. He has so far inter woven duty with happiness, that the effort to discharge the one makes the best?yes, the only provision for the other. Ex-Governor Moses, of South Carolina, is pining and failing fast in the Massachusetts penitentiary. His is the only instance in American his tory where an ex-governor became a common convict. Men often climb half way up the ladder and stay there; but it is seldom that they fall halt way down and stop short of the bot tom. At thirty Moses was deemed the most brilliant and promising man in South Carolina. Now, at fifty, he has not even, like Lazarus, a dog friend to lick his sores. The proceedings of the farmers' club at Greenvill should be read by every body. They have struck the key note of the campaign. The fanners' move ment in our State is entirely within the Democratic ranks, seeking redress, evils which they claim have existed against them, and to have a more economical administration of the government. They believe in a change in offices?taking men fresh from the people who know the needs, necessities and burdens which the farmers have to labor under. We publish the pro ceedings of the Greenville meeting elsewhere._ STATE Senator Farris of Missouri, who has just come into prominence through the veto of a bill granting him an increase of pension, ought to be able to get along despite his disap pointment. He is a well to do man, accounted almost rich in his neighbor hood. He owns a newspaper and has held oflice almost uninterruptedly ever since the recovery of the control of Missouri by the .Democrats. Taking one thing with another, Mr. Farris ap pears to have been pretty well taken care of, and his anger at his inability to get hold of a few more of the peo ple's dollars indicates *that he is not grateful. The State Press Association. The Press Association which met last week in Spartanburg had a pleasant and profitable meeting. The essays and discussions were all on practical subjects, and could not but be beneficial to the craft. The people of Spartanburg gave the members and their families a most oordial welcome and did all that was possible to make their stay pleasant. Friday morning most of the Association left for Wash ington, arriving there the . following morning. As soon as their arrival was known the Honorable* Samuel Dibble and Col. T. Stobo Farrow called upon them and made arrangements for a reception by President Cleveland. This was given at one o'clock, the members of the Association being in troduced by Congressman Ilemphill and President McSweeney, of the Asso ciation. The President shook hands with each member of the Association, and the ladies as well, after which the party dispersed and made an inspection of such rooms in the White House as were thrown open to them. In the af ternoon they attended the concert by the Marine Band, and at night a recep tion, which was given them by Col. Farrow. For the Legislature. We believe that it is pretty well con ceded by all who have given any thought to the subject that the Banch ville section of our county should be represented on the Legislative ticket to be put in the field this Fall. We know that many of our Branchville friends think, from the fact that they have had no representative in the Legislature since the Democratic party came into power, that they are entitled to at least one on the ticket this time, and we must confess that there is con siderable justice in the claim. The fact being conceded that Bianchville is entitled to representation on the ticket, the next thing is to find the man suitable for the place, and we think Dr. 0. II. Ott fills the bill. In present ing the name of Dr. Ott for the Legis lature The Times and Democrat departs from its usual course of not espousing the cause of any individual candidate for office, and we do it to impress upon thv. voters of the county the justice of giving Branchville re presentation in the Legislature and of rewarding the unselfish work of Dr. Ott in the cause of good government. Plurality or Majority. So far as human foresight can deter mine the primary plan of nominating county officers will be adopted by the convention that assembles to-day, and it will be the duty of that body to say which plan of the primary will be adopted?the plurality or majority. In the counties where a majority of the votes are required to nominate, the plan is most satisfactory. The will of the people might be thwarted by the plurality plan, as the Carolina Spartan clearly demonstrates. Our cotemporary says suppose there are four candidates for the same office and only 4,000 votes. The most unworthy man might, through trickery and demagogisrn se cure 1,200 of these votes. These would go to him for any office and against any opponent. He would get no more, if two of the other candidates had withdrawn. Then it is hardly fair to let less than a third of the votes nomi nate a man. The will .of the people would be reached better by requiring the two highest men to run the race over when neither has a majority. The convention should consider this matter well before acting. The County Convention. The Democratic County Convention meets to-day. This body has many grave duties to perform, but the most important is the election of a County Chairman and the election of delegates to the State Convention, which con venes in Columbia on the 4th of Au gust next. We must have thorough unity and harmony in the Democratic party in this county, if we want to continue to be successful at the ballot box. We cannot be successful if we break into fragments, each class look ing out for itself. There should be no grasping and grabbing for all the prominent positions in the organiza tion by any one set of men to the ex clusion of any other. There should be a fair distribution of the honors as well as of the labors to be performed to in sure "a long pull, a strong pull, and a all together." We meet not as farmers, lawyers, doctors, or any other class, but* as Democrats. Let us then act with wisdom and forbearance, remem bering that every individual member of the great Democratic party has rights that should be respected. Hani on the Politicians. Thomas Dixon, Jr., who represented Cleveland county. N. C, in the late legislature, and who delivered the 10th of May oration in Charlotte, in lb'So, has -abandoned politics. He has issued a card in which he declares : "With feelings of peculiar sadness and yet with an emphatically determined re solve. I realize it a duty to my numer ous friends and constituents, who are depending on my candidacy, to an nounce to the public my withdrawal from the field of politics. I will never again be a candidate for any political office. I have but one reason and that a very simple one,, for adopting this resolution. I have determined with the help of Cod. to live a conscientious and consistent Christian life. I cannot be a successful politician and a success ful Christian." This is heavy on the politicians, but we are afraid there is considerable truth in what Mr. Dixon I says. General News. A storm at Baltimore Thursday nicht unroofed many houses. One hundred houses have been de stroyed by fire in Koden, Poland, turn ing '300 families out of homes. The New York Sun lost 45,000 sub scribers by advocating Ben. Butler for the Presidency, and its dividents fell off 50 per cent. It is again reported thatSartoris and his family are shamefully treating Xellie. -Gen. Grant's cup of sorrow was full when he died. A negro woman was killed by light ning in'Newberry last Saturday. New berrv College building was also struck by lightning, but the damage was only slight. Ex-Sheriff John Renoe, of Sumter county, Tenn., was taken from jail at Livingston on Tuesday by ;i mob and hanged, for the attempted murder of his brother-in-huv. A brisk snow storm of about 15 minutes duration passed over Po quosine township, near Yorktown, Va., on Friday afternoon, much to the astonishment of the natives. Small pox of a very malignant type has broken out at Santiago, Chili. The disease, which is epidemic and becom ing worse every day, proves fatal in 70 per cent, of the persons attacked. Mrs. Caroline Benedict, a well-known woman, who for many years has re sided in the little village of Mottville, in the town of Skaneateles, X. Y., died recently after a fast extending 53 days. ? Tuesday morning Thomas M. Daly, an employee of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad, was killed in the Simpson street yard, in Atlanta, while detaching a freight car from a train. Ben. Jones, colored, was found lying bleeding and unconscious at the cor ner of Vanderhorst and Rutledge streets, Charleston, on last Wednesday night. James Gough, colored, who is suspected of the assault, has skipped. The boiler of a portable engine ex ploded at Alton, Illinois, Tuesday and injured five men, three fatally. Besides the wrecking of the threshing ma-! chine and the burning of all the wheat I adjacent, three or four horses were killed. Serious rioting broke out on Tues day between Catholics and Protestants at Belfast. Many stones were thrown and revolvers used freely. The mili tary was called out to restore order. Many were injured and sent to the hospital. Dr. Robert Taylor, formerly associat ed with Dr. L. A. Sayre, of New York, reports the cure of a case of traumatic tetanus, or lockjaw, resultant from a wound, which is said to be the only instance in which'a fatal conclusion to such an attack has been averted. The Court of Charleston on Thurs day was engaged in establishing the; legality of a marriage between Sarah James and Henry James, both colored, before the war. Henry is dead and some of his relatives are disputing the right of Sarah to his property. Sarah Clinger, an eight year old daughter of the widow Clinger, living near Brunson, was playing Tuesday afternoon with five other children on a flying jenny, when the pin on which it turned gave way, and it lell on1 her causing instant death. The othe?!8?l dren escaped unhurt. Prof. Tread well, of Massachusetts, has proved that a half-grown robin will dailv devour more than once and a half times its own weight in cater pillars and beetles. A young brood cannot live on less than 70 or 80 worms a day. A single pair of sparrows will carry every week to the nest 4,300 caterpillars or beetles. The St. Georges News says a huge snake, of the coach-whip species, was killed on the farm of Mr. T. O. McAl hany several days since. It made a savage attack upon Sylvester Douglass, one of Ms hands, while plowing in the field, and was promptly slain with a fence -rail. It measured seven feet in length, an a* was of proportionate size. Addison Boggs, of Liberty, lost a sow and eight pigs during the late storm in the following strange way: The pigs and sow sought a refuge from the storm in a hollow tree in the pas ture, and pushed their way up said hol low, until the sow became tightly wedged, so that she could not go back, and she and the pigs were found dead in a day or two.?Easley Messenger. A Lincoln county, Nevada, farmer has a cow which recently gave birth to a hairless calf. The farmer is also the owner of a turkey gobbler that has a topknot of feathers which are over three inches in length; has a ewe that has four teats like a cow; he is the father of fourteen children, eight girls and six boys, and is one of the bestjciti zens of Lincoln count}'. On Wednesday morning while Trial .Justice I. Hamilton Knight was two miles from Summerville driving rapid ly into town, a colored woman stepped into the road and pitched her baby almost under the horse's feet. Mr. Knight reined in his horse in time to save the child from being crushed to death. The woman then coolly picked up the child and walked off. It is sup posed chat she is crazy. About two hundred active Republi cans from all parts of Massachusetts met at Boston on Monday and adopted resolutions asserting that the Republi can party in Massachusetts should de clare its uncompromising antagonism to liquor saloons and that the question of constitutional prohibition should be submitted to the people, and inviting men of all parties to co-operate. An executive committee of fd'teen was ap pointed, Mrs. Roger Pinckney of Early Branch, Hampton County, had quite an adven ture with u negro burglar recently during the absence of her husband. The burglar hud boldly entered the private apartments of the residence, but instead of being frightened out of her wits the lady whipped out a revolver and fired at the intruding felon. He went through a window like a catapult and made his escape. It is not known whether he was hit or not. A special dispatch from Fargo, Dak., says : "Persons from the West report that Sunday afternoon an immense cloud of grasshoppers settled down on ;i wheat Held in the vicinity of Sanborn, on the Northern Pacific Railway, some sixty-live miles West of Fargo, and in a very short time cleared off fifty acres of every vestige of greenness. Several other fields in that neighborhood were also partially swept. About sunset the inseets rose and flew Southwest." Dots from Elloree. Editor Times and .Democrat: The corn crop of this section of coun try is generally fine. The cotton crop not as good as last up to date, and is somewhat discouraging yet from ex cessive rain. The rice, sugar-cane and potato crops are looking line, and as for General Green he is doing remark-, ably well. I tell you it was a strong contest between the farmer and the old general this year. He came mighty near being crowned with victory at one time, but the farmers are getting the best of the old general now. He still holds the fort at some places and I expect will until tire broad hoe passes along in the Fall month of October. So much for crops. Now something for the Eutawville Rail Road. It is devided in two sec tion, one lot of hands at work down at Vances, one lot on the Elloree end, and I feel satisfied that if the manager be low is progressing- as fast as Capt. Dunning- on the Elloree end it wont l>c long before the whistle will be sounded on the old Santee side, and then we will have excursions to the great city by the sea, and won't that be nice .' Our honorable board of commission ers is about to give us a public road from Four Hole bridge to Elloree, which will be a great accomodation to us to attend court at Orangeburg and haul fertilizers from Elloree. I read in your valuable paper some time ago the constitution of the Demo cratic party and also the call of the County Convention to be held at Orangeburg ou the 22nd for the pur pose of electing delegates to the State Convention and devise plans for the good of the Democratic party. It is rumored on this side that the secret part of the convention called was not published in your paper. The rumor that is now out I am sure it has not come out in print. It is reported that the convention tobe held in Orange burg is a kind of mob to bring the Farmers' Democratic delegation into trouble. I never heard what all the troubles we will have to contend with, but one big trouble is to define the principles of the farmers delegates. I understand their quality of principle must be such as laid down in the Divine Law reads thus: They are to be blameless, the husband of one wife, sober, vigilant, Sec. They must spring from a first class, decent family with out spot or blemish. If so I am afraid the delegation will be small. But I think if there be any that can stand the test we need not fear of not having good and wholesome laws hereafter. I truly hope that any man or set of men that may be nominated or appointed in this coming election for office may be possessed with the principles as are hereby set down for our farming dele gates.* I don't mean to say that any of our officers are guilty of having more than one wife, or a brawler, or striker, &c. But should there be for heaven sake deliver us from their rejgn who ever they may be. If this report that is now out is a part of the proceedings of the conven tion and you would not publish it that your farming friends who are delegated to that convention might bring their record with them so they would be seated without the trouble of standing before judge and juror, I think it un fair in you. But I have no doubt it is an error of some of our friends and you know nothing of it. Please try and find out if it is true and let you friends know the judge and jury they will have to stand before and oblige yours respectfully, Hard Worker. [We knowr nothing of the secret part of the call that our correspondent speaks of and don't believe any exists. i As to the report that the farmer dele gates would be subjected to any annoy i ance is all bosh, and must have origi nated in the brain of some very imagi native person.?Editor Times and Democrat.] Assisting Nature a Little lilt. When the resources of Nature have become retarded, no matter from what cause, it is then quite time to help the Liver and Spleen, and other organs, to perform their thorough duty?or we shall soon be quite ill. In such cases there is no more natural remedy than a mild cathartic, one which will be sure to perform its duty without injuring the system in the least. Such, let us say in all candor, is Simmons' Hepatic Compound. It will gentiy move the bowels, without irritating them in the least; when the medicine works, the bowels are soothed and healed like a charm?yet the medicine is more effec tive than Calomel; one of the principal ingredients possess all the good qualities of that poisonous drug, without any of its constituents. A dose of Simmons' Hepatic Compound every night on going- to bed, will infallibly restore health. Testimony of the highest con sideration from eyery portion of the country, and from all classes of people, abundantly substantiate this fact. The importance of this treatment cannot be over-estimated, and it should he tried by all means. _ Dr. J. (J. Wannamaker, Wholesale Agent for Orangeburg County. Storm in Illinois. Ruin and desolation mark the course of Friday night's storm through the sec lion of country ten miles southwest of Kankabcc, 111. Hail was the principal agent of destruction. Commencing at a point one mile west of Chebausc, and extending three miles northwest, then almost retrackiug its course toward the southeast to a point between Clifton aud Ashkum. The storm mowed a path three to four miles wide, destroying every species of vegetation in its path. Luxuriant fields of corn six fect high were cut close to the ground. Timothy hay and oat swerc mowed down as though the harvester had passed through them, and scores of farmers arc raking up these crops which have never felt the sickle. Practical. Editor Tunes and Democrat: I send you a choice item taken from an old paper?London Sunday News? which for its quaitness and directness ought to be perpetuated. The fathers \v?cre nothing if not intensely practi cal. It was not in the nature of their philosophy to take two bites at a cherry. They called a spade a spade- but to the iteni. "An official order published in a New England paper calls upon certain persons to pay up their Uehindermtnts ?(arrears) before the County Court." Suppose you try it/on your delinquents, there, may be magic hi the word. _Timothy. "Lustro," the great metal polish for silver ware, sold only by P. W. Cant well. ROWESVILLE LETTER. News ainl Goswin from our Sprightly Little ROWESVILLE, S. 0., July 20th, 188(5. Just having received ;i report of the game played between Jamison and the O K's on the 15th, and feeling muchly elated at the idea of such a^ignal vic tory over such a formidable battery, the score being so much in our favor, giving them the advantage of one in ning it summed up fifteen to nine. We would like for the many subscribers to your valuable paper to see what our late acquisition and twirlcr, Mr. Willie Withington, and our scientific home made catcher Mr. Touimie Dukes, did with Orangeburg's formidable down "shooter." That battery was literally battered on that occasion. We extend our thanks for the kindly assistance rendered us by those who were kind enough to supply the place of two of our best players in their absence, and also for the umpire for his gentleman ly deportment and impartial decisions. Those who were present and should have experience say it was as good a game as has ever been played on the diamond at our neighbor city. It won't do to monkey too often gentlemen, and be utterly paralized. We propose now to keep "the ball rolling if we can get any one to help us. Since Midway was so totally defeated in her last effort with the champions, we will visit them next if they will allow us, in order that, we may decide whether we can stand a showing should we have the audacity to challenge them. This trip to Mid way will be somewhat of a Summer excursion or pleasure trip. We will take along every thing essential to the comfort of the inner man, also a strong band from the little village. We will be prepared for accident or snake bite either, with a medicine known to the base ball fraternity as Japannese oil, this remedy is very highly recommend ed by the ebon hunters in this vicinity, but the advice is that you take a half pint before hand to get the start of reptiles. Messrs. John Robinson and Donnie Barton are making preparation for more modern and improved residences. Crops are making some improve ment since the shut off of the rainy period, but never can entirely regain what it has beer? damaged thereby. Tom Felder, a brother of the sneak thief who robbed Mr. W. P. Dukes' es tablishment has been caught in a simi lar act and severely chastised in the old fashion style with a buggy trace, he had to have several application be fore he would disclose the whys and wherefores. Mr. Jeff Bowman we are glad to say is still improving, and in a few days will be able to go buggy riding and ere long resume his general routine of business. His idea is to leave for more healthy and cooler climates as soon as possible. The crops are showing signs of inju ry from continuous rains, the cotton particularly is being damaged very considerably on sandy soil, the swamps are overflowed, some fields appearing like huge mill ponds which were plant ed in corn, rice. &e. Notwithstanding this Mr. F. 0. Fairey and A. F. Smoafc have promising prospects for an abun dant harvest of these necessaries in the swamp. The waters of the Edisto and its tri butaries are supposed to be higher than they have been since Mr. Harrison was president. This being the fact it would be a good idea if the fathers of dandy sons who have a hankering for watering places would send them for a month's camp on the banks of the Edis to, and if the waters of that pure stream with the aid of the musquitoes did not purge them of their dudiness and extract all the impurities from their blood so as they could balance themselves without parting their hair in the middle and plastering it down over their foreheads, betraying a dis position to hide their intellect, then there are no purifying qualities in water, and it is false economy to ship these dandles off to enhance their men tal and physical abilities, but keep them at home and give them lessons in gee and haw. Campmeeting being near at hand, and there seems to be a fascination in I the rear of the tents for a great many young men of all classes, most of them on the order of the high neck ed dude whose coat tail has crawl led up around his neck assuming the capacity of a collar, leaving his coat so short that there is not room for pock ets. Xow it might not be a bad idea to appoint a committee of five of the 0 K's to see that these dandies are fed and watered within the limits '?t the grounds, us it gives the appearance of inhospitnlity on the part of tent holders to see them so indifferent to the wants of humanity. Mr. J. P. Sain is making arrange ments to build u commodious burn six stories high in which he proposes to prepare his tobacco for the manufacto ry. Mr. Sain having experience in the cultivation of this weed will doubtless make a success of it, and encourage others to undertake it another year. Mr. Jude Robinson's prospect for a good turn out of tobacco is also encourag ing. There are a great many others who deserve notice as having good general crops and would be delighted to see their names as having such; don't pout gentlemen or you may be afforded the pleasure of seeing your name in print ere long. Some of my friends of the bachelor persuasion who are disappointed in their crop yield are hunting coon dogs, they must havemettheman from Orangeburg traveling in the interest of the "coon skin house" and took the agency. Success to you my friends, there "is money in the business when the crop is short. It is now 2 o'clock at night; there is a good deal more that could be told, but old Morpheous is about to take us in his tender embrace, and we fear that we have already intruded on your valuable space, so we will conclude by hoping that we may see you at Cattle Creek Camp Meeting.
